"Media and Nostalgia takes a closer look at the recent nostalgia boom and the relationship between media and nostalgia more generally; for example, digital photography that adopts a vintage style, the success of films such as The Artist and television series such as Mad Men, revivals of past music, fashion, and video games. However, this boom is not simply a fascination with the past; rather, it hints at something more profound. Expressions of nostalgia indicate a double helix type phenomenon with slowerreactions to ever-faster technologies, and the possibility of an escape from the current crisis into a middle status of wanderlust (Fernweh) and a specific form of nostalgia such as homesickness. This collection explores, with a critical lens, the ways in which various media produce narratives of nostalgia, how they trigger nostalgic emotions and how they can in fact be a creative projection space in themselves"--

Relazione
"The book is divided into four sections each dealing with a distinct area of concern. ... The scope of the material covered in this volume, and the rigour of the thought provoking chapters within, make this book an extremely welcome and valuable addition to the growing literature on history, memory and nostalgia." (Mike Chopra-Gant, Historical Journal of Film Radio and Television, 2016)
